NEW: 15 Senate Democrats, led by Sen. @BrianSchatz of Hawaii, urge AG William Barr to confirm @TheJusticeDept "will uphold the airtight confidentiality protections for data collected in the census under current law."

LETTER citing my @NPR reporting👇

apps.npr.org/documents/docu…
@brianschatz @TheJusticeDept @NPR 2. I reported back in November on an internal email revealing a Justice Department discussion about the possibility of "renewed debate" over whether the Patriot Act could force the release of individuals' confidential census responses👇

@brianschatz @TheJusticeDept @NPR 3. In November, Democratic Senators @brianschatz, @CoryBooker & @SenJackReed sent this earlier letter to @TheJusticeDept, which the senators say has not responded to their request👇

@brianschatz @TheJusticeDept @NPR @CoryBooker @SenJackReed 4. I've reached out to spokespeople at @TheJusticeDept for comment on this latest letter about census confidentiality. The DOJ previously declined to comment on my questions👇
@brianschatz @TheJusticeDept @NPR @CoryBooker @SenJackReed 5. Sen. @brianschatz has also written to Commerce @SecretaryRoss, who oversees the @uscensusbureau, about census confidentiality and received this response back in December👇

To understand the #2020census, there's a lot of census history & policy to digest. In case you missed my #NICAR19 panel, here are corrections to mistakes I've (almost) made in my 2 years on the #2020census reporting beat to help you sort through the noise👇
2. It is not accurate to say that the U.S. census has not asked about citizenship status since 1950👇
3. Since 1970, a sample of households have been asked about U.S. citizenship status on a smaller Census Bureau survey. It was known as the long form of the census, which was replaced by the American Community Survey after the 2000 census.

BREAKING: A second federal judge has issued an order to block Trump administration plans to include a #citizenshipquestion on the #2020census.

U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg of California rules adding question was unconstitutional & a violation of administrative law👇
2. The #citizenshipquestion has already been halted by an earlier ruling by a judge in New York. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hold a hearing about New York ruling on April 23. This latest ruling out of California will likely be appealed to #SCOTUS👇

npr.org/2019/02/15/692…
3. What's significant about this latest #citizenshipquestion lawsuit ruling out of California is that by finding the Trump administration's decision to add question to be unconstitutional, it covers legal ground not touched by the NY ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman.

AG Barr letter to Congress summarizing Special Counsel Mueller’s report.
#ReleaseMuellerReport 🇺🇸
Mueller would have indicted for obstruction if allowed.
Four weeks now sources saying fighting between Barr and Mueller.
Barr is not being transparent here. Will be months before the public learns more, unless high level leaks. #ReleaseTheMuellerReport

Senate Democrats suggest past FBI background checks on Kavanaugh include evidence of inappropriate behavior wapo.st/2Qs2GFf?tid=ss…
2/"Senate Democrats suggested in a new letter Wednesday to the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee that past FBI background checks on Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh include evidence of inappropriate behavior — claims quickly refuted by Republicans as “baseless
3/"innuendo.” The letter — signed by eight of the 10 Democrats on the committee — provides no specifics to back up the Democrats’ assertion that Kavanaugh’s past background checks included such evidence. But the letter challenged the accuracy of a tweet from the committee’s
